NEMO kicks off project on measuring the impact of digital culture

From 21-22 January 2020, NEMO was in Rome, Italy, to be part of the launch of the Horizon 2020 project "inDICEs – Measuring the Impact of Digital Culture". NEMO is one of 14 project partners and ICCU, the Central Institute for the Union Catalogue of the Italian Libraries, is the project leader.
